How the Overedge Foot Works:

This ingenious Singer attachment mimics the effect of a modern serger using your vintage machine's built-in capabilities. Here's the magic:

Edge Guide (Flange): The foot features a guide on the right side that you align with the raw edge of your fabric. This ensures stitches are consistently placed right at the fabric edge.

Central Bar (Bridge): A small metal bar is located in the center of the stitching area. As your needle moves side-to-side in a zigzag or overedge stitch, the thread wraps around this bar.

Stitch Formation: The needle stitches over the central bar, pulling the right amount of thread into each stitch. Crucially, this prevents the fabric edge from curling or puckering as stitches form.

Release Mechanism: As fabric moves through the machine, thread loops slide off the back of the bar and fall into perfect position on the fabric edge, creating a neat, professional finish that lies flat.

How to Use:

1. Install the foot: Attach the overedge foot to your Singer slant needle machine
2. Select your stitch: Choose an overedge, overlock, or wide zigzag stitch
3. Check needle clearance: Manually turn the handwheel to ensure the needle clears the central bar on both left and right swings
4. Position fabric: Align the raw edge with the foot's edge guide
5. Sew: The foot manages tension and stitch formation automatically for perfect results

About Singer Slant Needle Machines:

Singer's slant needle machines are legendary among vintage sewing enthusiasts. Produced primarily in the 1960s-1970s, these machines featured an innovative slanted needle position that improved visibility and stitch quality. The Touch-N-Sew series, Golden Touch-N-Sew, and Futura models are particularly beloved. Original Singer feet for these machines are increasingly collectible as these machines remain popular for their reliability and stitch quality.

Why This Foot is Special:

Before affordable home sergers became common, the overedge foot was the solution for professional edge finishing. This genuine Singer foot uses clever engineering - the central bar mechanism - to create results that rival a serger. It's a testament to Singer's innovation that this vintage attachment still produces excellent results today.

Condition:

This vintage Singer overedge foot is in good condition. It shows normal signs of age and use but remains fully functional. The central bar mechanism works perfectly, and the edge guide is intact. Ready to create beautiful finished edges on your vintage Singer slant needle machine!
